Tonight, we are enjoying a real fiesta. Everyone is having fun, but there is a moreserious not to the festivities. Tonight, we also come here to honor some of theboys in our pack. These boys have been working very hard during the pastmonth. As you can see, here we have a piñata, a very special piñata with severalawards attached.

First, let’s call up our new Bobcats (calls up boys and parents). You are justbeginning the Fiesta of Cub Scouting. I hope you will continue to have fun.(Presents award to parents, who give to boy. Remember to pin Bobcat badgeupside down until the boy does a good turn. Give parent pins to boys to presentto parents.)

Next we have some Wolf Badges and Arrow Points to present. (Call up boys andparents, again presenting badges to the parents to give to boys and parent pinsto boys for their parents.) These Scouts are well on their way—olé!

Look, here are some Bear Badges and Arrow Points. (Call up boys and parentsand make presentations and suitable comments.)

Oh, I see there are still some awards on our piñata. These must be for ourWebelos Scouts. Webelos Leader(s), would you please come forward and awardthese pins and badges? (Webelos Leader(s) present awards with explanations,as needed.)

Now we have come to the end. There are no more awards left on our piñata. But,we have all had fun and learned much this month. Let’s give everyone whoearned an award the Fiesta cheer: “Olé!”
